Got writer's block? Want to improve your prose? Grammar and spelling gotcha down? Then get out your sock puppets and chuck your sanity to the wind! (sanity is the number one block to writing)

I always turning someting happy into something angsty..WHY?!

Post by perfectpeach »

Ok. I need so much help. No more tham a week ago, I was writing a new fic that was supposed to be happy. On the fourth chapter, I was just writing and stopped. I read throught it all and I'd found that i had somehow turned it into angst!
So, i rewrote ch4. I ended up turning it even more angsty.
I gave up on that fic.
I started on a new idea (I have no problem getting ideas)
I got to the second chapter...again. I turned it into angst when I had a nice happy story so clear in my head at the time! I had it all up in me noggin and somehow my hands didn't want to type it!

Why does it do this...and how can i stop it?

Make your life happier? It could just be repressed feelings.

Insanity is essential to writting.

Heh, don't worry about it, peach. Everyone has different writing styles. Some are very serious, and others are naturally humorous. What you have to do, is find the type of humor/lightheartedness that you do best. Trust me, angst can lead to something light and satisfying to something utterly dark and dreary. Just find your medium and run with it. You'll find a way to make all styles work someday.
